Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: Corinthians and Peñarol meet at Neo Química Arena to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

Corinthians have less rest than Peñarol in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Paulista A1 game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Santos.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Corinthians form and stats

Last season their Copa Sudamericana adventure ended in the semi-finals against Independiente del Valle.

Corinthians have collected 8 points from their Paulista A1 home games so far after 2-2-0.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Cassio Ramos not having conceded a league goal in 262 minutes.

Corinthians enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Santos's place. The match ended 2-0 with Lucas Piton and Raul Bicalho scoring. 0-0 away at River Plate before that.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Corinthians as they have a new game in only two days, a Paulista A1 match thankfully also at home. Sao Paulo are visiting.

Corinthians have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Neo Química Arena with 7 goals in 4 league matches. Corinthians's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Peñarol form and stats

Peñarol's mission in Copa Sudamericana last season failed in the 2nd round.

Peñarol's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Peñarol collect 21 points from their 9 away matches in the Primera Division. 6 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). When we have look at the Copa Sudamericana statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Peñarol are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played ten in a row without losing.

That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Cerro Largo in the Copa Sudamericana.

As mentioned above, Peñarol was the only team on the pitch versus Sport Huancayo in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Peñarol are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 9 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Peñarol as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
